Head, Shoulders, Neck & Soul (Patreon)

I made you another Spa video featuring a lengthy scalp, neck and shoulder massage. It features pure massage sounds plus hair brushing and personal attention. I arranged some soothing music to fit the video and make it not repetitive for those of us with ADHD or those who may just be easily irritated due to stress. A lot of you said you missed the music in my videos so I did my best. 

If I'm honest, which I assume you want me to be, I've been really struggling lately. I hit a wall with another video I was working on and am kind of neck deep into depression, weighed down by feelings of worthlessness, low self-esteem, feeling ugly and replaceable and obsolete. Since I have 0 energy to give lately, I thought... What's the absolute easiest thing I could do that's still good enough to be on my channel? And this is the result. I've always taken such care to make my videos very special, well thought out, detailed and realistic. The devil's in the detail - could have been my mantra. But because of that, I never thought to just make a video around a few soothing sounds. You guys said you liked the shoulder rubbing in the Party for Two - Capricorn video, aswell as the sound of the fuzzy wind screen for my recorder. So that gave me the idea to make a video out of stuff I already know you like. I used the Zoom H6 stereo mic but just put the fuzzy wind screen on that one and massaged my microphone for a good long while. Later I edited everything together, removing all unwanted noises minus like the one I had to leave cause it was in the middle of a word and I made sure it wasn't annoying. Maybe I'm just easy to set off but at some point when the sounds get repetitive I'm just like "OK STOP" ... turns out I still had enough sounds to get a bit of variety in those 48 minutes of pure massage that, while researching themes for a possible video, I found out is about the length of a real time spa head massage anyway. I also found that whispering and explaining what I'm doing is useful at times when some sounds don't come out loud enough to drown out my neighbor's obnoxious TV in the middle of the god damn night. Wish us luck so Jack and I find a house we don't have to share that we can afford to rent so I will never have to deal with that shit again. 

Let me know what you think. I kinda like the purple and amber colors in the background, of course, not looped, making it look like sunshine at midnight - soothing and uplifting at the same time. Not too shabby for trying to match the aesthetic with my current Instagram line. I love how beautifully this camera captures low light. I just bought 6 more batteries so thank you for enabling me to do that so I can get through 4k shooting without stressing out about charging batteries by the end of it. They came in handy while filming this background. 

I hope, while it's not super special awesome, this video will soothe you right to sleep with soft whispering and personal attention.
